Just hubby and I

Taste

Had breakfast here, last sea day. Long lineup. Gave us a pager and said over 30 minute wait. We got buzzed about 7 minutes later. Omelet, breakfast potatoes and ham really good. Enjoy a window seat, again!!

O'Sheehans Neighborhood Bar and Grill

Alot of hype, long lineups. We tried it one night, it was later on, 10:30pm. Main dining times it was pretty busy. The wings were gross, definitely baked not fried and they were mushy. The pretzel bites and ceasar salad was yummy. They gave us free pop cause they messed up, I guess it was supposed to be from a can, but they gave us fountain. No difference to us.

The Manhattan Room

Dined here every night but one. It was so nice to have a live band play during dinner, people getting up to dance. A really lovely atmosphere. Food was really good. Only one night I didn't like the side to the chicken, but no big deal. We booked my time dining prior to boarding the ship. No long waits. Those without reservations had long waits. My 2nd NCL cruise, hubby's first and I can say these were the most impersonal wait staff we've been served upon. They also don't know how to pour water, either your table cloth was soaking wet or the floor was full of ice and they'd just kick it under your table! It is what it is. It didn't dampen our dining experience. The last 2 nights the dancers from Burn the Floor performed during dinner. We always asked for a window table and got one every night but one.

Garden Cafe

There was always a good variety. No complaints. Loved you have hard served ice cream in different flavours! As for staff, on last sea day, we had a late lunch and was finishing our drinks and started to play cards. As we saw others around us doing the same thing. This is about 2pm, buffet closes at 3. Some head person came to us and told us to leave, that we can't play cards in the buffet, that people need seats to eat food. Meanwhile, there were 6 empty tables around us, and others playing cards. Plus, we were still drinking coffee and our juice. We were taken aback, as we've never had that happen before.

Ice Bar

Absolutely incredible experience and worth the $15 surcharge. You get to sample 4 different drinks. The guy doing the check in was a little crusty, but the bartender was phenomenal!!! We had no problem making reservations.

Epic Casino

I won a jackpot, so I was happy. But we had some issues and the staff didn't seem to care. And then we received a note in our cabin about a concern and to call front desk. We called, it was about the casino, we said we already resolved it, then they continued to call for another 2 days the front desk kept calling us. They should read notes on file.

Photo Gallery

Same old/boring poses as on every other cruise line. They need to change it up. Their backgrounds were kind of ick too. And the highest priced photos we've seen at sea. $29.99 for 1 8x10. We always buy photos on our cruises, and for the first time, we did not. We did buy a Christmas ornament though, it was only $9.99.

Bowling

We had fun. Only $7 per game. Our lane was good. But the one next to us kept shutting down and the first lane was broken. They should be open longer hours as I'm sure more people would've played.

Epic Theatre

Any seat you sit in, is a good view. The magician show was pretty good. Burn the Floor has so much hype about it, you gotta see it everyone says, and it was meh. Talked to a few others, on tours and they all agreed it needs to retire. The Newleywed/not so Newleywed show, the theatre was packed. And it was one of the most hilarious ones we have seen. And the audience engagement was amazing. We've seen these shows on all the ships we've sailed and I can say I've never laughed so hard! Bingo was packed on last sea day. They really should do the 18+ comedian shows in the theatre every night, the smaller venue is just way to small. And the only night they had +18 show was at 11:30pm. Kind of late for us, but I'm sure others had some good laughs.

Headliners Comedy Club

Definitely need a bigger space for the comedy clubs!
